The LIF model is used to implement the neuron on both the software simulator and the SpiNNaker hardware platform [1]}. The model is defined within the equations (REF ) and (REF ).
\(\tau _{m} \frac{dV}{dt} = -(V-V_{r})+RI(t)\) 
\(if\: V(t) = V_{th}\quad then\quad \lim _{\delta \rightarrow 0; \delta > 0} V(t+\delta ) = V_{r}\)
